Quick start guide: Enterprise organizations

Hootsuite organizations contain teams, team members and social networks, which can reflect the structure of your own company within the Hootsuite dashboard. The level of access that organization members have is controlled through permissions.

The benefits of an organization include enabling employee collaboration, streamlining of workflows, and efficient management of your company's social networks:

Assign messages between teams for consistent messaging handling.

Share streams for monitoring the exact same content.

Invite collaborators to manage your social profiles without having to share passwords.

Each Hootsuite account can create one organization, but can be a member of multiple organizations. The user who creates the organization is its super admin, with master-level management permissions. A super admin can give other organization members super admin status as well.

Step 2: Add social networks to your organization
